You are right. The resemblance of Sodead Insane to Stalin is more than just his physical appearance. In fact, his role model as a dictator was Stalin. He had pictures of Stalin on his walls. He copied Stalin's tactic of killing anyone in his regime who he even suspected of disloyalty. Death to all tyrants!

Big downside. The U.S. military doesn't need riots in the streets of Baghdad to add to their headaches. I postulated a few days ago that the U.S. would wait to secure Baghdad before making the announcement. Those remaining in Iraq's command structure don't want to make the announcement for obvious reasons - once the people know that Saddam is dead, they will no longer have any power over them.
I'm not 100% convinced of the accuracy of this story. But I'm leaning that way. There is simply no indication whatsoever that Saddam is in any way still in command or even still alive. If we got him that first night, what a story to tell!

I'm more fearful of the use of WMD, if Saddam is toast, (or marmalade) but the leadership vacumm could explain:
1) our rush to Baghdad
2) executed POW's on TV, to the detriment of Iraqi world opinion.
3) Rummy's insistent reminder "do not use WMD." He said today, "it's not Saddam who will push the WMD button." He's talking directly to the underlings.
It really seems obvious now. We know he's dead, and fear the crazies running the show now. Get there ASAP.

I'd never noticed the resemblance of Saddam and Stalin until now, but it is quite spooky.
It's deliberate. Hussein has been playing Stalin for 35 to 40 years, now. That photo op was staged to look like that poster of Stalin. Hussein loves to emulate tyrants and conquerors.
He's also fond of Saladin and Nebuchadnezzar....
Iraqi stamp issued on "Palestine Day," 1997
Saddam Hussein and Saladin, Islamic captor of Jerusalem Behind them, is the Dome of the Rock, al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem Born on April 28, 1937, in Tikrit, the seat of Saladdin Province.

Jerrold Post Author of Political Paranoia: the Psychopolitics of Hatred Statement of 12/1990, before the House Armed Services Committee
Inspired by his uncle's tales of heroism in the service of the Arab nation, Saddam has been consumed by dreams of glory since his earliest days. He identifies himself with Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylonia who conquered Jerusalem (586 B.C.) and Saladin who regained Jerusalem in 1187 by defeating the Crusaders
.
In pursuit of his messianic dreams, there is no evidence he is constrained by conscience; his only loyalty is to Saddam Hussein

The Rise of Babylon, by Charles H. Dyer with Angela Elwell Hunt
Dyer points out Saddam Hussein's own plans to emulate King Nebuchadnezzar as evidenced in a commemorative medal he had cast with the ancient king's profile and his own side by side. In addition to the hanging gardens of Babylon and the unification of the surrounding nations, King Nebuchadnezzar is perhaps most noted for the sacking of Jerusalem and the captivity of the Jewish people. The author reveals how Hussein's followers already recognize him as today's equivalent of that ancient king: The tour guide at a reconstructed palace in Babylon described with enthusiasm the restored monument of the ancient city...she got to the throne room and pointed to the empty platform. "This is where the Saddam Hussein had his throne. This is where Saddam Hussein sat," she said, voice rising in pride. The short, stout woman looked around at the quizzical faces, then caught herself with a nervous laugh. "I mean Nebuchadnezzar... Nebuchadnezzar had his throne here." LINK |

Occasionally, Saddam liked to dress up like Hitler, too.

I'm not so sure now... FNC just reported that Iraq just recently released some thousands of prisoner of war from Iran 12 years ago and they still have some Kuwaitis from 1991 in custody somewhere...

B&A have been consistent on this, and the stories from other sources have been posted here. Its up to the reader to piece it together. You don't really think DoD is going to come out in the first hour of the war and say "we killed everybody" do you? We never would have been able to start the ground war. Check some of the other threads on this, the ABC report from the CIA source, General Paul Valalee's sources, etc. The story is out there, you just have to piece it together yourself.
To: Codie
Your just parroting what others have said.What difference does it make, if I believe it? I'm not "parroting" anything.
Read up on Andersonville.Mankind is basically evil.
No thanks. I don't share your cynicism.

"?And the down side of this is?" Maybe a strategy would be to wait until we got closer to Baghdad and then announce that Hussein is dead. The people might revolt and distract the Iraqi army from killing Americans. I can't see a downside in having all the members of the bloodbaath party killed though.
To: Sabertooth
Thanks for the post.
Parallels? Between Saddam, Hitler and Stalin?
Tyrant is too soft a word to describe the inhumanities and legacies these bastards inflicted on the world.

Perhaps you don't understand. You said there was the transcript you took your excerpt from at first, your provided link, then second, at the live streaming link in post #95. A page search reveals that it is at neither.

Maybe he knows that he would be strung up if the Iraqi people get a hold of him.<p.Yep. And many in the republican guard would meet with the same fate.
